Epic that holds up to this very day. Fun Fact: The very first day of the shooting, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck started crying out of happiness, because it was a scene between Robin Williams and Stellan Skarsgård, accomplished actors, doing Damon's and Affleck's scene verbatim, and they had waited so long (five years) for this to happen.

I think one of my favorite moments in this movie is one I don't see many people talking about.. Gerald and Sean arguing passionately about Will's future and him walking in on it at the end. On first glance, it's easy to agree with Sean and dismiss Gerald for being misguided, but I don't think that's the point. It doesn't matter which one of them is right, what matters is that they both care deeply enough to get that heated about it, and Will finally has an example that he can't explain away, of two parental figures that he never had, proving they care about him when they don't know he's watching. I always thought that was the moment he realized he could fully trust Sean enough to be vulnerable and honest. Really beautiful writing.

Matt Damon & Ben Affleck wrote this when they were in college. They won the Academy Award for writing for this. As to other films where the star wrote it, Rocky & Citizen Kane are the only ones that come to my mind, though I'm sure there are many others.

This film is fantastic, because it feels so real. The dialogue, the reactions, everything. And Robin Williams (of course) is such a rock star in this film. You should watch Cinema Therapy's take on this movie. They have a wonderful breakdown on not only the characters, but Robin William's portrayal of a GOOD therapist. Thank you for doing this film, it is one of my, many, favorites.

When Robin Williams passed away the bench in Boston Public Garden where Robin and Matt had that incredible scene became a huge shrine after news of his death

I watched ‘therapist reacts’ to this video, and he considers this the prime cut of therapy. Robin Williams’ character is what therapists strive to be. Perfectly written, perfectly acted.

Fun fact. Kevin Smith and Scott Moser got executive producer credits for this film because Kevin Smith brought the script to miramax when Affleck was shooting Mallrats with Smith

Another Robin Williams masterpiece.... Dead Poets Society. From this English major to an English teacher.

Geesh, this back to back with Field of Dreams is just a gut punch today:

"But this girl is perfect right now. I dont wanna ruin that." "Well maybe youre perfect right now. Maybe you dont wanna ruin that."

Next time you watch this, focus on Robin Williams' character and how he is also changed and helped by working with Will. Will is smart enough to analyze each of the therapists he is sent to and hits them at their weak points. It works on Williams' too, and his violent reaction is NOT OK for a therapist, but it starts him thinking not just about Will but about himself. The character arc is not as obvious as Will's but there are clues throughout.

He’s wicked sma-ht Love this movie…I KNOW this is gonna be an awesome reaction. No doubts in my mind you’re gonna love it.

Just finished watching this movie for the thousandth time. Never gets old

This might be the best movie ever made. It's perfect in every aspect. The only complaint I have about this film is that it ends. I could watch a ten hour cut of this, no problem.

24:03 A little improv from Robin Williams got the whole crew behind the camera clutching their ribs with laughter including the cameraman (you'll notice the camera shaking slightly)

A lot of the dialogue between Will and Shawn was ad libed, including the part about the wife farting. When Will laughed at that part, it was actually Matt Damon genuinely laughing.

"That son of a bitch Je stole my line" Is a line that robin Williams improvised 😊🧡

Great film. Such a massive movie. The story, script, acting, everything made this an absolute top dollar movie that deserved the recognition it received. 5 stars.

This has been my favorite movie since I saw it in theaters back in ‘97. So glad you watched it! Now, time for some laughs with Mrs. Doubtfire…

Hey mate, unfortunately I'd had 2 cut my watch short the 1st time, when u posted this, & hav just gotten 2 continue... I am @ 14:25 & u've just mentioned the help u give the kids that are acting out. Thank u, on behalf of them that can't say it or won't even understand the help u are 2 them until they're much older. You're a beautiful soul mate & I appreciate u & it's just so awesome how well u seem 2 understand certain issues such as this & the beautiful way u emapathize! ❤ from Brissy my friend 🥰

Hey just wanted to say that I've watched so many reaction videos on here from so many different people and so many movies and in my opinion you're channel is the best. You really understand the meaning of each movie and have some great points that get me thinking. Keep it up!!

Not even done with the ads before the video and I’m so excited to see your reaction

thanks for the reaction, i'll hope you'll react to more Robin Williams movies, my personal favorite is Dead Poets Society (1987).

Best reaction I've seen to this movie!

If it makes any difference mate..I love watching your channel! You rock my face off and I love when I get an alert! Cheers mate!!

Amazing reaction and analysis. Perfect.

This and A Beautiful Mind r my two favorite movies...Robin Williams mainly used his own lines..ad libbed.

R.I.P. Robin Williams

Teally enjoy your honest heartfelt reactions thank you

Another one of my all-time favorite movies it's so witty and clever

That was a great thought you expressed after seeing this movie! Words to live by!👏💡❤

As à teacher, you could use this movie and show it to your students, it would open lots of good conversations

Always brings the tears.

Dude, you got me emotional with your take. Thanks.

Hi man👍 Thank u for all u do! 🥰 Re ppl acting in movies they've written: Very rare in big movies, I believe!.... The fantastic Quinton Tarentino does small roles in most of his masterpieces! I think he's bloody brilliant!!🤩 Have a wonderful wk mate!🤗 💚🇦🇺

I am so glad you enjoyed this movie. This movie is about trauma and self awareness, developed only through an intimate friendship or relationship. Self knowledge alone can't lead to a full comprehension of the human heart, because only relationships open the heart in addition to the mind.

One of the best movies ever!!

Welcome back LEGEND

Great movie again :) . You should do Robin Willams Awakenings next . Also you can do Matt Damon The Rainmaker. You can also do some movies no reactor will ever do like Cadlic Man or The World According To Garp.

The guy he talked about ramanujan there is a movie about it called "infinity".

Best movie ever! ♥️ your reaction. Thanks!

Man, I miss Robin Williams

14:44 they were not bad therapists, he was just too damn built up in his emotions and felt like insulting them was "a good idea". Someone with walls built up around extreme sadness like him too, but able to control them since hes a therapist was what he needed, i mean...thats how i interpreted it. Williams was the only one that did not stop at the first encounter after he insulted him

I would love to see your reaction to Good Morning, Vietnam! Another great performance by Robin Williams.

The last line of Robert "Sun of a b*tch, he stole my line" it was NOT on the script. Robin came up with it.

The BEST movie about human connection and communication Love ♥

would love to see a reaction to eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, especially since youve been in a long term realtionship that im sure has had its ups and downs over time. It’s a beautiful movie, moving and just well written. ( jim Carrey and Kate winslet (titanic girl))

Another great Matt and Ben film is Dogma!

Should check out Gus Van Sant's follow up to this film his criminally underrated "Finding Forrester" which also happens to be Sean Connery's 2nd to last role. Also the next time you want a movie that will put the old noggin into overdrive, watch Jim Carrey's phenomenal "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"!

I was lucky to find this movie when in Atlanta for a class. Will / Bill - might be ok I thought so I went. Not many movies I remember seeing the first time and even fewer still i watch 8ver and over.

Somebody send out a flood warning in his area, because he gonna CRY!

When Robin Williams talked about fart, that was improved.

When you say he is getting through to Will, that is true that he is now paying attention even if he is still acting out. What I find interesting is that Will is a genius academically but to Will I think he regards Sean a genius if you will of his understanding what is going on with him emotionally. Will is ill equipped to handle what is going on in his head and I think he’s starting to see the truth. You can tell he is starting to look up to Sean. He respects him. This is good stuff. I don’t know this to be true but I think you may have experienced something along the way or at least knew someone who was a recipient of violence. You have good insights. Good reaction. I’m going to subscribe.

Robin Williams acting in a dramatic role is top notch. See the thriller Insomnia directed by Christopher Nolan.

Great reaction, very interesting to see this through your eyes! My #2 on my list of best movies ever! You've already reacted to #1 (Shawshank Redemption)... If you haven't already, you might like my #3 Gran Torino! Keep reacting and we'll keep watching!

Very uncommon to write the screenplay for the film you star in. Even more rare to star/write/direct the same film which Ben Affleck did for The Town. Hopefully you react to that if you haven't seen it

I didn't have the kind of hellish upbringing Will did. My family was quite loving actually. But I had a tough time with my peers and was bullied and excluded a lot, including with some physical abuse but mostly emotional abuse (which can be worse). I can relate to the kinds of things Will feels in this movie and some of the dynamics at play. It's not a completely accurate representation of therapy and trauma. Like in most movies, the timeline is way too brief. You don't go from where Will was at the beginning of the movie to where he is at the end in a matter of weeks or even months. But as a way of making you feel the emotions of what it is like to be in someone like Will's shoes, it is quite effective.

This could be the best movie of all time, definitely top 3.

Half way thru ur reaction I'll give u comment to help ur channel. I don't blindly comment but I really like u. I love how u pick up on small Stuff. It's a struggle I've had . I ID with will. I don't remember pictures. I'm eidentic. I remember facts. Ppl talk to u different if u appear smart. It's hard to connect if uve IQ and gfs feel stupid n leave. I've been there. But is a really good love story. Thank you for giving one of my favorite movies justice

Stallone wrote Rocky and wouldn’t sell the script unless he was allowed to play the lead role too.

Perfect 💯

Rip Robin Williams

Sylvester Stallone wrote and starred in Rocky

Nice, brah.

Robin Williams in Fischer King, should be next.

Sweet video.

Great movie, isn't it? After this and "Field of dreams" you should try "reign over me". Surprise: Adam Sandler can realy act.

Nice reaction. Robin Williams in Dead Poets Society next?

Fantastic reaction , & review, Please do FOREST GUMP and SCENT OF A WOMAN and CASALANCA !! Also THE WIZARD OF OZ !,

You're great Auzzie Dillon. From the UK. Don't hate us.

He said Elliot Smith was putting him to sleep. Bruh, what??

if you jam your foot on a table leg and split a toenail don’t get grouchy at others... you never know when someone else might be having a worse day

Plz reaction the missing you 2016 🙏

Why would you laugh after Williams grabs Damon by the throat? It's a serious moment.

Negative comments.....just fuckin around. Great shit bro 😁

Well for exemple you have braveheart. Mel Gibson played the main role and directed it that amazing movie.

It is not common for the stars to write the screen play. Sylvester Stallone did it with Rocky...and Stallone was no one at the time.

Will you be watching infinity war

Why are the curse words edited??? We are adults!!! Most reaction videos to this film leave it alone. They are in Boston!! Part of the fun is listening to them curse!!!

people get offended. Let em.

The music is one of the biggest characters in the film. Take Elliott Smith out and the film just doesnt feel the same.

8.3/10 on Imdb seems rather low for a movie of this caliber.

Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight. Gonna grab some afternoon delight.

It’s because these boys grew up in an environment where grifting and hustling is a Normal thing to make ends meet and have a couple bucks to go to one of those Harvard Bars. It might not be right but just like Bob Dylan said. If you got nothin you got nothin to lose. You deprive communities of opportunities and this is what you get. It irritates me to see people who act totally surprised that this stuff happens.

I can't help but notice how they make it sound like the math problems on the blackboard were really hard, although they aren't at all. All four parts of the first one are about a topic we teach in our first year math course for computer science (and they're *not* a Fourier system like the professor claimed in class). The first part of the second problem is one of those that are hard if you don't have the right tools at hand, but becomes rather easy once you do. The second part of the second problem is essentially just going through a few case distinctions. In fact, there are still two trees missing in addition to those written on the board.

That IMDB score is complete crap. 10/10 all day long.

Dude!! Watch more!! Talk less!! STOP trying do figure the film out first!! Watch it then comment!

“I’m an English teacher. Maths is not my forte” Then you should know how to pronounce “forte” correctly.
